Nationalist Congress Party leader and Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar Tuesday launched an attack on Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, demanding to know what the latter had done for society.

Speaking at a public function here Tuesday afternoon, Pawar - nephew of Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar who is a close friend of the Sena chief - said that all his life Thackeray "has sat in his Mumbai bungalow" (Matoshri, in Bandra) and played politics in the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji by issuing all kinds of statements.
